This is a no brainer.  I'd be surprised if anyone else even got a vote.

They had a sad commentary at the New York Times: after this year of recognition, with this award, it will be time to speak of Heath Ledger in the past tense.

I see someone voted for Phillip Seymour Hoffman. If he wins over Heath Ledger -- again -- I'll be very, very upset.

I suppose we can all say we are going to boycott the Oscars but last time I said that, I didn't stick to it. I like watching the show, seeing all the fancy clothes. It's fun and it's a fun night.

Besides, Heath is going to win. This is the one statuette I am sure of and it makes me sad because he should have picked it up in person 3 years ago.

Robert Downey Jr was awesome in Tropic Thunder, but because his supporting role was in a Ben Stiller movie, he's the long-shot. I would be very surprised if Heath Ledger isn't named the winner tomorrow night.

I wonder if people are voting for Heath because he passed away? He did a pretty good job but still.

Oh I'm so glad he won the Oscar!!  Like many I'm sure, I was in tears.  I wish he was still here to receive it himself, and yes, I believe he would have won either way.  Well deserved.

It was wonderful that his family was there to receive the award.
